With special tours of Ball State University’s Archives and Special
Collections from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Strategic planning is an essential management tool for
all archival programs. The barriers to creating and implementing a strategic
plan can seem insurmountable to solo and small-shop archivists.

This workshop will provide an overview of the
strategic planning process from the perspective of small archival program
management, emphasizing relationships and community-building, both within and
outside of the archival program's parent organization. Participants will have
time to begin work on strategic planning documents for their own archival
programs.
